Abstract

Plasmonic metasurfaces have important applications in life science, optics, and catalysis. However, their industrial usage is limited by the challenges of high throughput nanofabrication. A promising solution is the transfer of a pattern into a substrate using block copolymers, nanostructured stamps or molds to create binary, three dimensional templates, which can then be decorated with plasmonically active metals. Here, we report on the optical properties of quasi-Babinet complementary arrays in the non-retarded regime investigated by finite-difference time-domain simulations. The structures consist of a nanopillar support, which is covered with metal disks on top of the pillars and a quasi..
